I thought I’d show you what I’m working on today, but realized I never showed you the towels I made. They’re all a Swedish lace pattern. Warp and weft are white cottolin, chambray and cobalt cotton. I needed to make 1 or 2 for a hostess gift. On the cone, the cobalt looked a little too dark and the chambray a little too light, so I thought I’d use them both. Once on the loom, the chambray took on far more green than blue. Oh well.<\/p>\n

But the real poop, the reason I’m quite unhappy with myself, is that each and every towel has a treadling error in a plain weave section. An error I didn’t see till I was giving them a hard press. And not all in the same place, so it’s not like there was a specific warp thread that troubled me. Plus the towel on the far right is way short – ran out of warp ‘cuz I made some towels longer to finish a pattern and didn’t allow as much extra warp as usual. I guess I simply wasn’t paying enough attention, was in too much of a hurry. <\/p>\n

I theoretically could still needle weave the errors and then wash, dry, and press again, but I’m not going to. <\/p>\n

I’m still going to give the 2 as hostess gifts, and I’ll have to decide if I’ll sell the other 3 for less than normal or also give them as gifts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
